Playstation 3 in 2006

Dom · Mar 20, 2003, 08:47 PM

Reports spread out of Taiwan that Sony was planning to stun the world and release the PlayStation 3 this year. At least one major wire service took the bait and ran the story, forcing Sony to issue a quick and firm denial.

Even the most optimistic sources don't expect to see the next "next generation" consoles until late 2004 – and that's almost certainly a fantasy. More and more, it appears that the PlayStation 3, Xbox 2 (or, as some are calling it, the "Ybox") and next Nintendo game machine won't see the light of day until 2006.

2006? Seems a long gap between consoles. Id say 2005 is better.

I wasn't expecting to see any new consoles until late 2005. I think they'll release them in 2005, although very late in the holiday season; the time they make most money. We'll just have to wait and see. Thx for the link
